This is a very peculiar little book, part travel guide (to fictional lands), part short story, part documentary (also fictional). It asks some interesting questions. It was a four-star for me about halfway through... I was beginning to put together some interesting story lines. In the end, though...
Reads like a slightly less crazy City of Saints and Madmen. Thoroughly enjoyed.
